The BWF has been suspended since March. However, this week BWF announced that the tour is ready to come back in October.
Let us have a look at how the tour will be for rest of the year…
The tour will kick-off with Thomas and Uber Cup on 3rd October in Denmark. It will be followed by 2 BWF 750 events. The tour will then move to Asia for 2 BWF 1000 events which will then be followed by World Tour Finals.
